Good call!

BTW I merged this with the existing Doves thread.

Fair enough.

Their last myspace blog mentioned there being two September dates, so there may be a northern date yet...

...but I have a London ticket anyway.

Nice one, and welcome to the forum.

Why not pop over to HERE and introduce yourself!

Yeah there's been a couple of mentions of this and Guy played some new stuff on finest hour recently, I soo can't wait to see an album release!

Really, did he?? Damn, that would have been wicked to hear. I must have missed it then..usually listen to his show every week but I've missed some lately....

I only remember one time, it was a quite while ago when he played one Doves Demo which reminded me a lot on "You know you know" by the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Haven't noticed any more new Doves Demos and I can't remember missing one show of Guy...
But he played older tracks a few times Smile

These guys are in 1001 Albums to Hear Before You Die and Elbow aren't Mad

Asleep in the Back, come on! Mercury Prize Nomination, come on! I will milk this cow!

Are you talking about this "Demo heaven" thingy when Guy talked to Jimi Goodwin? Smile

They played a demo which Jimi had recorded in his kitchen or something if I don't remember it wrong....

Yeah, he's been playing Sea Song a couple of times and I think he played Caught By The River and The Man Who Told Everything not long ago.....Always a nice surprise to hear some Doves tunes on the radio Smile

Yea, I think it was that one. And Jimi was singing a jingle for the "Demo Heaven" Very Happy

yeah ok, cool. I've got that bit actually...some nice bloke ripped it and made it available for download on the Doves forum I think, not sure if the link still works ...If anyone else wants it send me a PM and I'll email it!

Subject: Re: Doves Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:09

what bit of GUP is Jimi on?? and i totally agree with Jonny here... AGAIN!!

Subject: Re: Doves Sun 31 Aug 2008, 16:00

I've never heard of them, i must look them up at some point. In fact, I might just do that now:)

Subject: Re: Doves Sun 31 Aug 2008, 16:06

I just listened to a couple of songs, and I must say, i'm not entirely convinced by them, they're good, but not by any means the best:P

Subject: Re: Doves Mon 08 Sep 2008, 13:06

Give it time mate, give it time....Some top tunes that got me into them was Here it comes, Catch the sun, and Pounding from their 2nd album. If you like more mellow tunes I'd recommend Far From Grace, Ambition and The Man Who Told Everything maybe....In my mind I rank them a bit higher than Elbow actually, sorry!! but you can prob tell that from my avatar Smile

Subject: Re: Doves Mon 08 Sep 2008, 17:08

Yeah

i'd guessed that Razz

How dare you!? Razz

Nah, in my mind, it's whatever floats your boat Smile
